Question

The velocity of a body moving in a straight line is increased by applying a constant force F for some distance in the
direction of the motion. Prove that the increase in the kinetic energy of the body is equal to the work done by the force
on the body

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that v

=u

+2as

And Work done =F×s for a constant force F.

Also we know that a =

m

F

v

−u

=2as

This gives s=

−u

F=ma

We can write work done (W) by this force F as

W=ma(
